I find it reassuring when a sense of entitlement goes unrequited.
Re: Ivy League 2022
Unfortunately for Corrigan and his team, the committee saw the results of ND's first six games. Twelve game season, not six.

South Bend Tribune link requested on Corrigan reaction to NCAA selections:

Re: Ivy League 2022
Actual quote: "We controlled what we could control, which was to win these six games in a row," Corrigan said after the Irish's win over the Blue Devils. "I don’t know how anybody watches us over these last six weeks and say that isn’t a team that belongs in the tournament."
This seems pretty mild to me, especially compared to how much screaming at refs Corrigan engages in.

Re: Ivy League 2022
fair, it wasn't scathing at the committee and it wasn't directed at another individual in retribution. it was after a win, and an innocuous coach-speak answer on playoff chances.faircornell wrote: ↑Fri May 13, 2022 8:30 pmI'm not very good in sharing links on FanLax.

Re: Ivy League 2022
Agree. If I were a Notre Dame fan, I'm sure I'd be upset as well. I don't begrudge them that. What I dislike in ascending order, whether it's from other ACC fans or ND fans, is (a) the knee-jerk and silly denigration of the entire Ivy League; (b) the sweeping condemnation of an RPI-based system by the partisans of a league that dined out on it at selection time for years; and, worst of all (c) the really ugly online vitriol, plenty of it steeped in misogyny, directed at the female chair of the five-person selection committee.CU77 wrote: ↑Fri May 13, 2022 11:43 pm Actual quote: "We controlled what we could control, which was to win these six games in a row," Corrigan said after the Irish's win over the Blue Devils.

Best wishes to all the Ivy League teams this weekend. Cornell led the way in 1971 for the proposition that the National Champion should be decided on the field, not in a smoke-filled room somewhere in Baltimore. GO BIG RED!
Re: Ivy League 2022
Gee,
ACC fans being hypocrites,
who’d of thought,
at least they have those ACC athletes.

Re: Ivy League 2022
I thought that seemed incredibly mild as well. If that's as incendiary as he got, I have zero problem with that. Hell, I even agree with it: ND is a team that belongs in the tourney. Unfortunately, they fell just short; committee had to pick between other equally qualified teams and ND got the short straw.CU77 wrote: ↑Fri May 13, 2022 11:43 pm Actual quote: "We controlled what we could control, which was to win these six games in a row," Corrigan said after the Irish's win over the Blue Devils.

Re: Ivy League 2022
Agree on 1 and 3 (and strongly agree on point 3). Is there a lot of RPI condemnation as well? Because RPI ain't what did them in; It was a committee smart enough and brave enough to look beyond RPI.The Orfling wrote: ↑Sat May 14, 2022 7:56 amAgree.

Re: Ivy League 2022
That's a good point. I guess really my #2 point is more of an extension of #1 -- the folks saying "all the Ivies are horrible and would be crushed by any ACC team" or those saying "but Princeton didn't even make the conference tournament" tend to be discounting RPI in the case of the five Ivies with top 10 RPIs (Princeton #3, Penn #4, Yale #6, Cornell #8, Brown #10). But it's certainly true that it is the inclusion of Harvard, with an RPI behind both ND and Duke, that is the focus of the ire.ICGrad wrote: ↑Sat May 14, 2022 9:04 amAgree on 1 and 3 (and strongly agree on point 3).

Re: Ivy League 2022
This is an IVY League thread. Am a little tired reading about ND and their alleged snub. Take it to an ND thread. IVY league is the topic and trial starts today at noon. Best of luck to all the IVY teams.

Agreed it’s game day…F those other conferences
Now I love those cowboys, I love their gold
Love my uncle, God rest his soul
Taught me good, Lord, taught me all I know
Taught me so well, that I grabbed that gold
I left his dead ass there by the side of the road, yeah

Re: Ivy League 2022
Word
I think today has to rank as one of the greatest days in IL lacrosse history. Who would have ever predicted that we'd ever see 4 Ivy League teams hosting 4 games on the first day of the NCAA tournament? And with two more games on tap for day 2? And especially who would have thought it heading into this of all seasons?

Though I will be rooting for St Joes as stupid fans like us do like to bathe in the glory of our conference brethren no different than SEC football fans claiming dominance because of Alabama.

Re: Ivy League 2022
As a man with a graduate degree from an SEC school that is not Alabama, I can confidently say that there's no force on earth strong enough make me root for Alabama...unless, of course, they're playing The Ohio State University. Eff those pretentious a-holes and their definite article.Farfromgeneva wrote: ↑Sat May 14, 2022 9:44 amThough I will be rooting for St Joes as stupid fans like us do like to bathe in the glory of our conference brethren no different than SEC football fans claiming dominance because of Alabama.
